Less than 12% return

Underfunding the future
Since 2010/11 the NI Executive has cut £216m from third level education.
Every year 5,000 talented young people leave NI.
Less than 12% return
The NI Executive must act to:
Implement a sustainable funding model that will support our universities in transforming NI into a Knowledge Based Economy
Reverse the cuts
A restored level of funding would
Open opportunities
to a wider range of talented students from all socio-economic backgrounds
Provide equality of access
for students in NI
And create a world leading inclusive economy for our citizens
